. . . what's the status of Riverside Park?

In a Joel On The Road post this afternoon, he notes that more than two months have lapsed since "I asked Detroit Mayor Ken Cockrel’s spokespeople to tell me, yes or no, whether the city is dealing with Ambassador Bridge owner Manual “Matty’ Moroun to sell the trucking tycoon part of Riverside Park so he can build his new bridge.

"I’m still waiting. . . .Can I assume they’ve given me their answer? I think so. I believe the park is in play, either for sale or lease, part or all."

I'm wondering if anyone else thinks another softball game is appropriate?

From Mondays council meeting. The city legal Department has litigation pending that will resume in May... The bridge company tried to present there case to council on Monday and the legal department said they would not allow anything that might have to do with pending litigation to be discussed or tried outside of court...

The city should trade Riverside Park for MCS and the cost to renovate it.
